This is a cross-sectional study to evaluate the serum lipid" levels of children living in Pusan in 1996. The distribution of age is from 2 years old to 12 years old.
In female children mean total cholesterol is_,171.426.2mg/dl, triglyceride is 104. 7 50.6mg/dl, HDL-cholesterol is 54.4 14.8mg/dl,^ and LDL~-cholesterol is 95.432. 9mg/dl. In male children mean total cholesterol is 167.9 25.2mg/dl, triglyceride is 645.5mg/dl, HDL-cholesterol is 55.411.7mg/dl, and LDLIcholesterol is 94.423. 6mg/dl.
The percentile of serum lipid levels is measured in children. The 95th percentile of serum total cholesterol is 210mg/dl in male children, and 214mg/dl in female children. And, the 95th percentile of serum triglyceride is 184mg/df´ in male children, and 191mg/dl in female children. And, the 95th percentile of LDL-cholesterol is 133mg/dl in male children, and 135mg/dl in female children.
Serum total cholesterol is positively related to age(r=0.18),´. height(r=0.08), weight (r=0.17), obesity index(r=0.12), and negatively related to father´s education level (r=-0.13), mother´s education level(r=-0.13). Serum triglyceride is positively related to weight(r=0.23), age(r=0.31) and negatively related to fathers education level(r=-0.12), mother´s education level(r=-0.18). Serum HDL-C was positively reated to mother´s education level(r=0.07) and negatively related to height(r=-0.141 weight(r=-0.09).
Conclusively, the serum lipid levels of children living in Pusan is generally so high that the family and school must try to control the serum lipid levels.
